The efficacy and safety of apatinib plus doxorubicin and cisplatin as neoadjuvant therapy for osteosarcoma have been preliminarily validated, but further clinical trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness.
Background: Effective adjuvant therapy for osteosarcoma is necessary for improved outcomes. Previous studies demonstrated that apatinib plus doxorubicin-based chemotherapy may improve the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy. This study aimed to clarify the effectiveness and safety of apatinib plus doxorubicin and cisplatin (AP) as neoadjuvant therapy for osteosarcoma.Methods: The clinical data of osteosarcoma patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy and surgery between August 2016 and April 2022 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: the apatinib plus AP (apatinib + AP) group and the methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (MAP) group.Results: This study included 42 patients with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma (19 and 23 patients in the apatinib + AP and MAP groups, respectively). The 1- and 2-year disease-free survival rates in the apatinib + AP group were higher than those in the MAP group, but the difference was not significant (P=0.165 and 0.283, respectively). Some adverse events were significantly more common in the apatinib + AP group than in the MAP group, including oral mucositis (grades 3 and 4) (52.6% vs. 17.4%, respectively, P=0.023), limb edema (47.4% vs. 17.4%, respectively, P=0.049), hand-foot syndrome (31.6% vs. 0%, respectively, P=0.005), proteinuria (26.3% vs. 0%, respectively, P=0.014), hypertension (21.1% vs. 0%, respectively, P=0.035), and hypothyroidism (21.1% vs. 0%, respectively, P=0.035). No drug-related deaths occurred. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the groups (P>0.05).Conclusion: The present study suggests that apatinib + AP may be a promising candidate for neoadjuvant therapy for osteosarcoma, warranting further validation in prospective randomized controlled clinical trials with long-term follow-up.
